ERP Replacement Support Toolkit for HESS and The Coalition Members
You already know that ERP investments are among the largest, most complex investments your institution will make. Staff at HESS member institutions are typically fully engaged in day-to-day operations, leaving little time to strategically approach the digital transformation a successful ERP project can bring. As a value add to members, HESS and The Coalition have partnered with Moran Technology Consulting (MTC) to provide the services of trusted and experienced advisors, to work alongside your team (as much or as little as you need) to support your transformation’s success. MTC is known for successfully supporting over 300+ schools.
Due to the complexity of ERP transformation projects, and the need to closely align business and change management processes with the technology, MTC suggests that the best place to explore partnership opportunities is through an initial conversation. Experienced consultants are available for a free, no commitment required, conversation to help you think through your strategy, approach, or just to share our learnings from having worked with many other schools.
The official HESS & Coalition ERP Replacement Support Toolkit Catalog, developed by MTC, includes several of our most-requested service offerings, at special HESS member only pricing. As experts in the ERP transformation space, we have designed the Toolkit to help you understand the possibility of solutions we can provide to support your ERP project. If you engage MTC, or access other resources, we have learned that following each of these steps can result in a successful ERP transformation.
To explore how MTC can help you think through your strategy and approach; develop a custom support solution; or just to share our learnings from having worked with many other schools, please get in touch with us at [email protected] or (877) 337-7110.
